Allied Telesis IE340 Industrial Ethernet Layer 3 Switches Installation Guide
Installation Guide
This document contains a short version of the installation instructions for the IE340-12GP, IE340-12GT, IE340-20GP, and IE340L-18GP Industrial Ethernet Layer 3 switches. For complete installation instructions and safety statements, refer to the IE340 Series Installation Guide on the Allied Telesis web site at alliedtelesis.com/us/en/library/search.
Safety and Electromagnetic Emissions Certificates
For Safety and Electromagnetic Emissions certificates, see the IE340 Series Installation Guide.
U.S. Federal Communications Commission
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device must not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Industrial Canada
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Grounding and Bonding Requirements
Electrical systems and communication cabling systems that are required to be
grounded must be connected to earth. Grounding and bonding provide reliable
means to safely conduct voltages generated by lightning, line surges, or
unintentional contact with high voltages lines or equipment to ground. The
users of the plant or those responsible for the installation shall institute
the necessary measures (e.g., shielding, bonding, and grounding protection) to
assure all components are on the ground fault path. Inappropriate grounding
and bonding shall render all warranties null and void. Refer to the IE340
Series Installation Guide for recommended practices.
Physical Descriptions
For physical descriptions of the switches, refer to the IE340 Series Installation Guide.
Package Contents
Here are the pre-installed components on the switch:
Installation Options
This quick installation guide explains how to install the switch on a DIN rail or concrete wall.
Note The switch’s maximum operating temperature depends on its orientation on the wall and the type of enclosure. Allied Telesis recommends installing the device vertically for best possible airflow and cooling. See the following figures.
For instructions on installing the switch on a wooden wall or in an outdoor enclosure, refer to the IE340 Series Installation Guide.
Note For outdoor environments, the switch must be installed in a UL- listed Type 3X or 4X enclosure to meet safety requirements.
Installing the Switch on DIN Rail
To install the switch on a DIN rail, perform the following procedure:
- Hold the switch vertically with both hands, with the back panel next to the DIN rail.
- Hook the bottom flange on the DIN rail into the bottom slot on the DIN rail bracket on the switch.
- Press upwards on the bottom panel of the switch to compress the springs on the DIN rail bracket, and pivot the switch until vertical.
- Carefully lower the switch so that the top flange on the DIN rail slides into the top slot in the DIN rail bracket.
- Visually inspect the bracket to verify that the DIN rail is now fitted into the top and bottom slots on both the left and right sides.
Note Allied Telesis recommends installing DIN rail end clamps to the sides of the switch to prevent damage or network traffic loss from vibration or shock. End clamps are not available from Allied Telesis.
Installing the Switch on a Concrete Wall
To install the switch on a concrete wall, perform the following procedure:
-
Place the switch on a table.
-
Remove the pre-installed DIN rail bracket from the switch using a Phillips-head screwdriver.
-
Install the two wall brackets to the back panel of the switch, with the four provided screws.
-
Have a person hold the switch on the concrete wall at the selected location for the device while you use a pencil or pen to mark the wall with the locations of the four screw holes in the two wall brackets.
-
Use a drill and 1/4″ carbide drill bit to pre-drill the four holes you marked in the previous step. Please review the following guidelines:
Prior to drilling, set the drill to hammer and rotation mode. The mode breaks up the concrete and cleans out the hole.
Allied Telesis recommends cleaning out the holes with a brush or compressed air. -
Insert four anchors (not provided) into the holes.
-
Have a person hold the switch on the concrete wall at the selected location while you secure it with four screws (not provided).
Connecting the Grounding Wire
To connect the grounding wire, perform the following procedure:
Preparing the DC Power Cables
The switch can be powered by one or two DC power supplies. Two power supplies
provide power redundancy.
Each power supply is connected to the switch with two wires, one positive (+)
and one negative (-). If you are installing only one power supply to the
switch, you may connect it to either the PWR1 or PWR2 connector. For the power
requirements, refer to Appendix A, Technical Specifications, in the IE340
Series Installation Guide.
Powering on the Switch
- Verify that the DC power supply is powered off. If there are two DC power supplies, verify that both units are powered off.
- Connect the DC input plug to the Power connector on the front panel.
- Connect the other end of the power cables to the DC power supplies.
- Power on the DC power supplies.
- Wait three to four minutes for the switch to start its operating system.
Starting the First Management Session
This section explains how to start a local management session through the Console port on the switch. This procedure requires a terminal, computer, or laptop with an RS-232 serial port or USB port, and terminal emulator, such as PuTTy. It also requires a management cable, as follows: If your computer has an RS-232 port, you may use the supplied management cable or refer to Appendix A, Technical Specifications, in the IE340 Series Installation Guide for cable wiring specifications. If your computer has a USB port, you may need to purchase a USB-to-Serial converter that is compatible with its operating system. An example is the VT-Kit3 converter from Allied Telesis.
Note The first management session with the switch can also be over the
Ethernet network through any of the copper or SFP+ ports. The switch has both
DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 clients. Their default state is enabled. If the switch does
not receive a response from a DHCP server, it uses the default address
169.254.42.42/16.
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
-
Connect your computer to the Console port on the switch with a serial cable or the VT- Kit3, (If you are using the VT-Kit3, refer to the IE340 Series Installation Guide for instructions.)
-
Configure your terminal emulation program as follows:
Baud rate: 9600 bps (The baud rate of the Console port is adjustable from 1200 to 115200 bps. The default is 9600 bps.)
Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None -
Press Enter. You are prompted for the name and password of the manager account.
-
Enter the user name and password. They are case-sensitive. The default values are: User name: manager Password: friend
The switch starts the local management session and displays the following
prompt:
awplus>
This is the prompt for the User Exec mode in the command line interface. This concludes the Quick Installation instructions. For further instructions, refer to the IE340 Series Installation Guide.
